i'm glad you picked up knytt stories and ran with it. this is pretty charming. i especially like the surprise power-up in the middle that makes places i've already been worth revisiting, the books that give context for some of the little things going on in the level, and the fact that you actually made a dedicated ending scene for the player jumping out all the way into the ocean. the different areas all feel really diverse - i like how it's always changing but not in an arbitrary way because each different area has character. the super hard part was not rom hack hard, and hiding the bullet-spit guy among all the chomp-teeth guys was cute. most of the endings imply further stories - that's good too.

I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. It was charming! I got all the endings. I really enjoyed the Super Ultra Challenge, mainly because I hate it when Knytt Stories are actually frustratingly hard, especially due to random elements, whereas this was consistent and enjoyable.

I hope you register on Nifflas' forums and post this.

P.S. I got really excited about being credited and felt kind of sad about my tileset only showing up in a cutscene! I request you remedy this in a later level.
